Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
This ain't no mudd club, or C.B.G.B
Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Everything's ready to roll
Ain't got no records to play
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
Hope for an answer some day
We make a pretty good team
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
I ain't got time for that now
You oughta know not to stand by the window
This ain't no fooling around
But I ain't got no time for that now
We blended in with the crowd
High on a hillside, trucks are loading
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
Or in a suit and a tie
They won't help me survive
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
Place where nobody knows
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
Don't even know my real name
Changed my hairstyle so many times now
I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
My chest is aching and it burns like a furnace
I got three passports, couple of visas
I ain't got time for that now
Lived in a brownstone, I lived in the ghetto
This ain't no fooling around
I'm getting used to it now
I ain't got time for that now
I can't write nothing at all
I've lived all over this town
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Somebody see you up there
This ain't no fooling around
You ought to get you some sleep
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
Don't know what I look like
To last a couple of days
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
Gonna be different this time
Transmit the message to the receiver
I might not ever get home
Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
I know that ain't allowed
Can't write a letter, I can't send a postcard
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
This ain't no fooling around
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
